Oh, I just forgot to mention another doubt: - when I ssh into a system that has just been installed and waiting for reboot, I can see a lot of FAI's variables, but $SERVER doesn't show anything and there isn't any variable that holds the server IP or hostname. Is this right? How do I find out who is my server?
